Michael's POV

It's been about seven months since the incident with Lisa. Since then, Sky burned that mattress, I wrote a lot of songs, and I bought an engagement ring.

Sky doesn't know it though. I want to ask her, but I'm scared. I want it to be special. I was thinking about taking her to Paris for the announcement. I think she'll like that.

I walk outside and find Sky in my favorite tree. I call it the giving tree. It's given me so much inspiration. I climb up and sit next to her.

"Hey, Sky, what are you doing up here?"

She looks at me and takes my hands into her own. She stares at my hands. Something seems to be bothering her.

"Sky?"

She looks at me and says,

"Michael...I want to elope with you."

My eyes widen. "Really?"

She nods. I smile and pull her in for a warm embrace.

"Oh, Michael, I thought you would say no."

I look into her eyes.

"I would never say no to you."

She smiles. I kiss her.

"How about we go to Paris? "

"Really? Paris! "

I nod. "Yes! I was already thinking of...wait."

She looks at me confused as I pull out the engagement ring.

"Sky, will you marry me?"

Sky laughs and wipes away a happy tear.

"Yes!"

I put the ring on her finger and hug her again.

She caresses my face and kisses me. The kiss is so passionate and steamy. We start making out. I love when we do this. It always gets me excited.

We haven't had sex yet. Maybe because we weren't married. But the anticipation is so hot! I love it!

I feel sparks flying as we continue. I move my hand down to her waist. She starts rubbing my thigh. I feel junior waking up. I let out a soft moan.

Suddenly, Sky stops. She pulls away. Did I do something?

"Michael, we should wait until we're in Paris. That'll be so romantic. "

I smile. "You're right. Let's start packing! "

Sky starts laughing as I jump out of the tree and run toward my house. I look back once and see her climbing down.

We finally arrived at our hotel. We went through the back and were escorted to our room.

We close the door behind us.

"Michael! This is beautiful! I can see the Eiffel Tower from here! "

I smile. "I'm glad you like it."

I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her waist. I kiss her neck. She smiles. Before I can kiss her again, she squirms from my grasp.

"Are you OK, Sky?"

She nods. "I feel fine. Want to go see some sights?"

I nod. "I have to wear a disguise though."

She laughs. "I know."

I think about it, then say,

"You know what. I can go like this. I want to take pictures without the disguise. "

"You sure?"

I nod.

For the entire day, we walked around...with my bodyguards..taking pictures and seeing the beautiful sights.

There was also a huge crowd with us. Sky and I just laughed. It was pretty funny. We wanted to go on a walk, but we ended up walking with everyone in Paris.

I had a romantic dinner planned that night, but when we got back to the room, Sky was too tired. I'll wait until after the ceremony tomorrow.

I feel like Sky is afraid of something. I hope she isn't getting cold feet!

The next day, while eating breakfast, I ask,

"Sky, you aren't getting cold feet are you?"

She looked at me concerned. "No, Michael. Of course not...are you?"

"No. Never."

She smiles. "Good."

Later that day, we have our private ceremony. We just had to sign some papers.

"Congratulations, you're now husband and wife."

I smile at the priest, then look at Sky. Her eyes are sparkling. She has a big grin on her face. I lean in to kiss her, making it official. She leans in. As our lips touch I feel the ground beneath me disappear.

I feel like I'm floating. This kiss was different from the others. It was like...unity, commitment, loyalty, trust all in one. I think she felt it too.

We were never going to separate.

Later that night, I have candles lit and dinner ready. I have the most romantic mood going right now. I put on nice slow music. I want everything to be perfect.

I put on a black silky shirt and matching bottoms. Sky is in the bathroom getting ready. I walk over to the mirror and mess my hair up a little....God, I hate the way I look.

I unbutton the first three buttons, trying to show some chest.

I lay down on the bed. What? No. We're going to eat first! I get up. Where should I be? I have no idea! I stand next to the table. This will have to do.

The bathroom door opens and Sky walks out. She's wearing a red silky robe that goes down to her thighs. Underneath I can tell she's wearing the red lingerie she bought earlier today.

I smile. "You look amazing. "

She blushes. "So do you, Michael."

I walk over to her and pull her close to me. I kiss her neck and gently trail my fingertips up and down her arms. Goosebumps form.

I was about to remove her robe, when she pushes away from me.

"Sky, did I do something? "

"No, Michael...its just...never mind. "

She sits in the bed. I sit next to her.

"Please tell me, Sky. I want to help."

She looks into my eyes and says,

"Michael...I'm a...virgin."

That caught me by surprise.

"Really?"

She nods and looks down.

"Sky, it's not a bad thing. And I would never pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do."

Sky looks at me. "I want to do this, Michael, but I'm scared."

I caress her face. "Sky, I will never hurt you. Never. I promise, I'll be gentle. "

Sky smiles and says, "OK Michael. I trust you."
